OATA BANK DESCRIPTION
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 LRAPP MISSION AND OBJECTIVES
The Long Range Acoustic Propagation Project (LRAPP) was established within
the Office of Naval Research in 1966 to provide environmental acoustic sup-
port for Navy programs. The Project supports a balanced program of acous-
tic parameter Investigations, at-sea data collection, and model development
and evaluation.
Since 1967, LRAPP has sponsored more than 30 individual environmental acous-
tic exercises In various ocean areas of the world. During these exercises,
extensive measurements have been made of oceanographic and acoustic parameters
over wide geographic areas. LRAPP sponsored exercises have Involved partici-
pation of the Navy Research Laboratories, universities, private Institutions,
and commercial contractors. Measurements have been made using ships, air-
craft, and moored stable platforms. Post-exercise processing and analysis
of collected data have resulted in an extensive inventory of digitized data
which are used by LRAPP In supporting parametric acoustic analyses. In the
evaluation of acoustic models, and as a basis for planning future measurement
programs.
1.2 SCOPE OF LRAPP DATA BANK
The LRAPP Data Bank is designed to preserve the massive amounts of both envi-
ronmental and acoustic data collected during LRAPP sponsored exercises, as
well as to maintain, in a readily accessible manner, high quality historic
and climatologic data in those ocean areas of interest to LRAPP.
LRAPP's data banking efforts began in 1973 with the CMURCN GA8BR0 Exercise
in the Caribbean. Since that time, all LRAPP data which have been collected,
processed, and edited have routinely been forwarded to the Data Bank, During
this period, LRAPP has also sponsored the compilation of high quality envi-
ronmental data sets (edited data from NOOC ard NAVQCEANO data sets) for
selected ocean areas.
The LRAPP Data Bank, which Is made up of 1) me Data 3ases, and 2) the Data
Management Software, Is currently operation® i> C 1108 hardware at
the NSTL, Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.
1.2.1 Data Bases
The environmental and acoustic data witnin the Bank are structured in
Regional Data Bases where all banked data within the particular geographic
area will be found, regardless of source. At present, only a limited
1-1
number of regional Oata Bases exist in the Bank. Schedules for addition of
Oata Bases are based on geographic priorities of LRAPP measurement and analy-
sis programs. Figure 1-1 delineates Data Base Region boundaries and indi-
cates presently available Data Bases. Exceptions to the regional organization
of data are made for special data sets (e.g., World Shipping Data Base) only
where regional segmentation Is not appropriate. More detailed Information
as to the scope and content of available Data Bases is provided In LRAPP
report C79-Q30, "LRAPP Environmental-Acoustic Oata Bank Users Manual (U),"
CONFIDENTIAL.
1.2.2 Data Management Software
A distinctive feature of the LRAPP Data Bank Is its ability to retrieve and
format data with minimal user specified format control. Retrieved data can
then be analyzed with the system's supplied analytical modules, again elimi-
nating the user's need to specify data format. The storage and retrieval
module, CREATA8ASE, enables Isolation and retrieval of any data subset with-
out programming assistance and also provides the flexibility to expand,
modify, and restructure existing data files.
Additional software (CREATE module) Is provided to interface user supplied
Subroutines with subset data files and to enable the user to choose from a
variety of output forms (PRINTER-PLOTTER for character matrix display at a
terminal or EGO for display outputs via graphical plotter).
An overview of presently available software capabilities is provided in LRAPP
report C79-030; \RAPP Environmental -Acoustic Data Bank Users Manual (U),“

2.0 DATA SANK ACCESS
2.1 ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES
The LRAPP Data Bank has been established primarily for the use of LRAPP spon-
sored Regional Assessment, model evaluation, and environmental acoustic Inves-
tigations. Funding for development and operation of the Data Sank has been
provided exclusively by LRAPP In support of Its charter missions. As addi-
tional data from LRAPP measurement programs and other non-LRAPP sources are
added to the Bank, expansion of users beyond LRAPP Investigators and contrac-
tors is expected.
LRAPP sonsored Investigators are supplied, upon request, with required user
Identification and password. At the time of Issuance, an estimated level cf
usage Is established which should not be exceeded without notification to the
LRAPP Data Management Coordinator.
Authorization for access to the Data Bank by others may be granted by the
Director, LRAPP, upon request, setting forth appropriate organizational
sponsorship and need. Occasional usage by related Navy sponsored programs
will be on a non-reimbursable basis. Extensive use requiring special data
file maintenance or high hardware time charges will be negotiated on an
Individual basis.
2.2 FACILITIES AND ORGANIZATION
The Data Bank Is presently maintained on UNIVAC 1108 hardware at the NSTL
Computer Center, Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Current component Data Files
of available Oata Bases are listed on the Data Base File inventory which may
be displayed at the beginning of system use. This inventory listing will
update (if necessary) data listings in the Users Manual. The required pro-
cedure to call the inventory and to stage specific tape reels for access is
fully explained in the Oata Bank Users Manual.
Overall responsibil 1 ty for user service rests with the LRAPP Oata Management
Coordinator, A listing of functional responsibilities and responsible per-
sonnel is provided in Table 2-1.
2.3 ACCESS MODES

submit all requests by this mode. IRAPP will provide required interfaces
to obtain tne desired output from the NSTL Computer Center.
2.3.2 Interactive Terminal
Interactive access to the Data Bank is available via telephone to the NSTl
Computer Center using standard keyboard printer or CRT terminal. Job Control
Language ( JCL ) for the interactive terminal mode is described fully in the
Users Manual.
2.3.3 Batch Processing
Batch processing requires communication of all requests to the computer via
card images. Batch mode access is only available at the NSTL Computer Center.
Access to the Data Bank by means of patch processing is limited and requires
prior arrangement between the user and the Computer Center.
&;
3.0 DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CAPABILITIES
The data management software modules of the Data 3ank are designed both to
efficiently “compress" data for storage and to facilitate isolation, retrieval,
and display of data subsets by users with a minimum of specialized system
knowledge. Additionally, the capability is provided for users to interface
their own special purpose, analytic, or data transform routines to operate on
the Isolated data subsets.
The system presently consists of four individual software modules. The func-
tional relationships of the four modules (CREATABASE , CREATE , EGO, and PRINTER-
PLOTTER} are presented In Figure 3-1.
3.i DATA ISOLATION AND RETRIEVAL
All communication between the user and the compressed source Data Files is
through the CREATABASE module. English language Boolean expressions (queries’
using “and," “or," “with,* and “from" serve to isolate data. Interactive r'wn-
munications with the user, providing information as to total number of da--,
records isolated by serial Boolean expressions, guides the user to desireo
data records and provides qualitative information on data concentratiors/Cis-
tributions.
Records may be isolated by specification of limits on any parameter of the
record (e.g., latitude, longitude, time, depth, temperature, etc.). Serial
expressions specifying limits on two or more parameters may be ordered in any
sequence. During the isolation process, Individual data records may be
retrieved for examinations at any point.
At the completion of the query process, the user can produce a binary subset
file from the compressed source data files. Tne subset file is structured and
sorted according to user specification and may be tabularly printed or it may
be used as input to display nodules or analysis routines.
More detailed information on the capabilities of the CREA’abasE module together
with functional ccoaands and user instructions are presented in the Users
Manual .
3.2 analysis
Statistical and numerical analyses nay be performed on isolated binary subsst
data files with individual user supplied routines by interfacing these rou-
tines through the CREATE module (see Figure 3-1! . Routines designed to com-
pute derived data (e.g., sound velocity via Wilson's Equation from temperature,
salinity, and depth} or to transform data (e.g., feet to meters! may operate
on the data subset. The resultant data parameters nay replace or be combined
with existing parameters in the binary subset file for display. Specialized
user output formats beyond the scope of those provided by the Data Bank ore
also possible via the CREATE module.

3.3 DATA OUTPUT AMD DISPLAY
Tabular output of retrieved data subsets are available by direct instruction
within the CREATABASE module. More sophisticated graphic output requires
the generation of the binary subset file and use of one of the two graphic
modules: EGO or PRINTER-PLOTTER .
3.3.1 EGO
The EGO module is a general purpose graphics package designed to generate
plot tapes for CalComp comoatible plotters. At present, arrangements have
1 not been made to generate plots at the MSTL Computer Center and detailed
| Instructions for generation of plot tapes are beyond the present scope of
! the Users Manual. Interested users may obtain required information upon
l request to the LRAPP Data Bcnk Coordinator (see Table 1-1).
In addition to X-Y functional plots (Figure 3-2), EGO can produce scatter
diagrams (Figure 3-3), pages of text (Figure 3-4), and map projections.
Map projections currently available include Mercator (Figure 3-5), Lambert
Conformal (Figure 3-6), and Polar Stereographic (Figure 3-7). Routines are
also available for generation of coastline on standard projections.
3.3.2 PRINTF. - PATTER
Tne PRINTER-PLOTTER module is designed primarily for on-line operation. It
produces rapid graphical representation of two or more variables directly
from the interactive terminal or line printer.
Plots generated by PRINTER-PLOTTER are produced using printer characters as
the plotting medium. Piet size, and vertical and horizontal scaling are
selected by the user. A detailed explanation of the control language neces
sary to execute the PRINTER-PLOTTER module is provided in the Users Manual.
Figure 3-8 provides an example of the PRINTER-PLOTTER module output.
